Meet Gina Rio, the 23yr old who lives at the Savoy, drinks Cristal, owns £20k handbags

Most twenty-somethings have long been dropped from their parents' pocket money payroll. But
one - who some are calling the most spoiled woman in Britain - still
receives a massive £10,000 payout each month from her mother - and
that's just the tip of the iceberg. Gina
Rio, 23, who lives in a suite at the five star Savoy hotel despite
owning a house in London's King's Cross, is handed the money by her
mother, Theresa, who took over the monthly payments after Gina fell out
with her father, a successful businessman, in 2003 and he stopped the
£20,000 allowance he used to provide.

Gina, whose parents split when she
was aged 14 after her father had an affair, spends the generous
allowance living the life of a princess. She shops at designer stores, naming Louis Vuitton, Lanvin and Christian Louboutin as some of her favourite shops, and she eats lavish meals at London's
finest restaurants, claiming on Twitter that she plans to dine exclusively at Michelin-starred establishments.

And she buys more designer goods than she could wear in a lifetime, including
over 300 pairs of designer shoes and 70 designer handbags, one of which,
a Hermes bag that she ordered her father to buy after she discovered he had
bought a similar one for his mistress, cost £20,000.

She
also spends an extravagant amount on being chauffeured around in
private cars and taxis, the bill for which can exceed a staggering
£1,000 a month, and pampers herself in the hairdresser on a regular
basis - often spending £600 each month to keep her locks glossy.

As if the allowance wasn’t enough, Gina’s parents have also showered her with gifts over the years.

Her
father, who owns a successful construction company, spent £10,000 on a
16th birthday party for Gina, while her mother recently gave her a white
Mercedes SLK convertible, worth about £30,000.While
Gina doesn’t solely rely on her parents money - she earns £2,000 a
month as a personal stylist - she has shockingly not managed to save a
penny of the mini fortune lavished on her.The
23-year-old, who trained at Sylvia Young Theatre School, spent an
eye-watering £50,000 in two days last month on clubbing and shopping for
luxury clothes, after taking her father's credit card without his
permission.

'My dad wasn't happy,' Gina's brother Sebastian says,' but he just shrugged it off.'Gina
compares herself to socialite and millionairess Tamara Ecclestone, and
admits she often has no idea how much she spends on luxuries such as
socialising, hair and beauty.

It’s really bad - I don’t even know how much I spend sometimes.’Gina
often posts about her lavish lifestyle on Twitter, tweeting on 21st
December ‘Shopping in Knightsbridge with mummy! Love her, and her
cards!’ and treating her 373 followers to daily reminders of her
extravagant purchases and indulgent restaurant meals. In
one tweet she declares: ‘I decided I'm strictly eating at michelin star
restaurants and 5* places, i'm tired of trying to be normal and eating
at these other places!'

On her blog, where readers can learn
how to copy her lavish lifestyle; she lists Harrods, Bond street,
exclusive jewelers Asprey and Cartier, Selfridges department store as
personal shopping favourites.

While
it might be easy to dismiss Gina as simply a spoilt brat, she is the
first to admit she is using money as a substitute for her parents' love.

Devastated
when her father had an affair and left the family for another woman,
Gina, then aged 14, was given substantial handouts from him until, at
age 17, she demanded an allowance of £20,000 a month. ‘I know I’m spoiled, but I need my parents to buy me things to prove they love me,' she says.'I think the most expensive item was a Hermes handbag which cost £20,000.

Gina's £30,000 white Mercedes SLK convertible - a gift from her mum

'When I found out that he'd bought his mistress a Hermes handbag, I wanted to have one that was bigger and better.

'I wanted him to prove that he loved me more than her - because she's horrid - she's horrid.

'He's my dad at the end of the day and I'm always going to love him, but he's chosen his new family over me.'

Gina
fell out with her father over his new love in 2003 and he cut off her
£20,000 a month, leaving Gina threatened with a normal life devoid of
the countless luxuries to which she had become accustomed. Luckily
her mother Theresa stepped in to save her daughters extravagant way of
life, offering £10,000 monthly to keep her in taxis and blowdries.

When Gina goes out, she lets her boyfriend - the 23-year-old rapper Ecksell - pick up the tab.

'I love my Cristal champagne and bellini cocktails,' she said.

'I have no idea how much it costs - hundreds maybe. When my boyfriend and I go clubbing, he goes crazy. 'Once he spent £25,000 in one night. Afterwards I told him that he might as well spend that on me.

'I could not imagine life without any money. Not being able to pay to have my hair done would be the worst thing ever.

'I always get what I want - I've never gone without.

'I've never caught the Tube or a bus. I would never go on public transport. It would be terrifying.

Unlike most girls her age, Gina has never set foot in Primark.

She said: 'I've driven past but I don't think I'd like it.'

Meanwhile Gina has carefully vetted all her suitors.

She said: 'I could never date someone who is poor. That would be the worst thing that could ever happen to me.'When I met my boyfriend he told me he was signed to Warner Bros to impress me, but he really wasn't.

'Then
I found out that his dad owns a brand of sauce sold in Harrods, I was
pretty impressed and I knew his family would have a lot of money.

She is currently living at the Savoy while her house in King's Cross is refurbished.

The five-bed house will have a walk in wardrobe covering the entire top floor, a swimming pool and jacuzzi and a home cinema.

Gina said: 'My mum bought the house for me ages ago - I reckon it must have cost at least a million.'

Meanwhile father Paul is picking up the tab at the Savoy - a bill costing thousands of pounds.Mum Theresa has no problem with Gina excessive spending.

She says: 'I tell Gina that I am proud of her and everything she gets she deserves. Why have money if you can't enjoy it?'

Looking forward, Gina says she is hoping to emulate her idol Tamara Ecclesone.

'I like Tamara - she's pretty and seems nice. Of course, she wants for nothing - and sometimes I think I'm just as bad as her. 'I'd
like to start my own business - something like a beauty spa. I get
bored sometimes so I think it would give me something to do. 'Tamara has her own show, Billion $$ Girl, to keep her occupied.'

In terms of beauty this girls has got it all, but this her spending spree na wa o! I don't blame her much sha, most of us if given her opportunity would do same, who no like better thing? But she better consider that starting a business idea she mentioned, it will help her.

That complexion bothered me so much i had to google her wan't sure if it was a really bad tan or the hair but something is so off with the complexion turns out homegirl is half cuban and half jamaican!

She's a spoilt brat she needs to come africa and learn d hard way. Upon all d money she still looks 10x older than her age. Money is nt everything. If mum n dad aint there, u have no choice but to hump a bus

Gina, if u dont carry all these to the life beyond earth....u are of all men most miserable....wat does it profit u to live in ur own world here and end up in eternal burning fire??? give ur life to Christ!!!

So? Good for her. She has a problem she needs to sort out. She should first go and learn how to draw her eyebrows properly. With all this money i'm sure there is something lacking there. Plus there are so many noiseless people who are wealthy and aren't making noise about it, even our very own Nigerians.

I don't know her worth/Dad's worth but the Ecclestones money is endless. Think of Formula One and all the money it makes. Bernie Ecclestone's property profile is on another level too. I hope she can keep up with Tamara Ecclestone.

oh please1 not this dumb girl.... i actually think daily mail formed this story up or rather this story has been formed up to promote a reality show which (who knows) may debut in 2013.....

first of all, the story screams designer designer, yet in the dmail pictures she seems to be surrounded by "dune" shoes mostly _ not exactly designer, more like high street. hair looks as tacky as hell and i cant believe she wastes £600 a month to get such royally tacky hair... she looks too old to be 23 - perhaps il blame that on the horrid hair and make up.. to be honest she looks like a typical essex girl!

and just in case this story is really true and not formed, she certainly has the dumbest parents ever and i pray that they pay HMRC all amounts chargeable otherwise their even dumber daughter has put them in serious trouble with HMRC! Shes a real hot mess! and example of what one should never be!

Linda i offered u friendship on facebook but u refused to add me till today. that is by the way, on this issue: i honestly don't think the public will be proud of information like this when u put them out because is not a good example. u guys that have access to this people sometimes should advice them to spend some of the money they waste on nonsense on the poor and needy; people that can barely eat once a day. happy new!

She is not a smart lady because all the designer`s stuff she wastes money on are all made in China and Korea just like the cheap bags and shoes at Primmack. The desinrs are only selling their names to gullible girls like her. She wants a reality show.

Mugu. C her worwor face nd fake boobs. With all dt money u aint half as pretty as I am nor have d brains dt I have got. Dis is 2013 nd one of my resolutions was to reduce d amount of cussing I give out dis year but old agbaya u deserve my first insult of d year. Money flows like water FYI nd it cld dry up one day. Make hay while d sun shines. Ode . Amanda Reginald

Extravagance of the highest level!!! But mere looking at her skin and her entire body;there is no much deal about it cos her body,makeup,dress etc is just like that of any ideal lady..if her parents can provide the money she needs then there is no much isshh to discuss...abi na me be her papa niii????

Please look at her blog, she has a pic that states in Miami.... The ish is in some village somewhere! Why do people lie for no reason! And if she was all tht, she wouldn't be wearing guess shoes and top shop dresses

All I see are the same 7 to 8 shoes on the bed, in the wardrobe and a few shoppong bags lying around. Not to mention the tacky-ass outfits. Seriously, no homo but i think baby girl is living in lala-land

Interesting that her surname was not mentioned as it would be evidently quickly the true source of her wealth as there are very very few blacks here in Britain who can afford their children this life style. As for being compared to Tamara, talk about wishful thinking as Tamara is the daughter of a billionaire - huge difference!!

And what is she putting in place to enable her offsprings lead thesame lifestyle? She should keep on mummying and daddying. One day she will be a mummy who also needs to sustain a life. She can't save so struggle shall be her lot soon.

Lin this is waaaaaaaaaay too much information. She's just living ha life. And sorry to say I don't believe any of this story. Do you guys weallie think if this was ha motive she woulda come out to the public to say all these trash. Abegi! And as for those of you who sees any headline and start commenting I sorry for your life. E never dawn on you say when you too become celebs these writers will write anything about you? Don't believe everything you hear. Happy NewYear Lin. And ma fellow Nigerians. #Mwah!

I wonder why some peeps wont stop castigating this blessed child. She has the money to flex and enjoy her life, so be it. Its nobody's fault you were born the way you are and for Christ's sake, she never chose to be born into a wealthy family.......Ride on girl, i feel you. You can go ahead and kill the Hermes store. Afterall she's not stealing, only spending her FATHER's money. Congrats girl....You Only Live Once.

She doesn't looks it doe. She doesn't look like she was born wealthy.she just looks like a very successful runz girl with no class. i hope she finds a husband doe. Cause I would not let my brother marry her kind

Sue you are such a bitter bitch,ur life must be so misrable,cos u are so full of envy and hate,you are the same goat that taged urself as"mabel's irritated friend"simply cos her husband bought her a car,I pity the unfortunate man that will end up putting ur type in his house,cos I won't even wish your type for my enemy,you better change before its too late cos with an atittude like that you are bound to die a misrable spinster

Fake, fake, fake. She's being promoted by a media company who placed the story on the Mailonline website. She's just another wannabe model, actress, whatever. If she's so rich why is she wearing fake Louboutins and showcasing a load of Dune shoes that have seen better days? Whi is she mentioning the Ecclestones? Also, no one in the music biz has heard of the rapper boyfriend. She'll probably show up on a reality programme at some point.
